“Heh, you don’t get it. She’s indeed a little smarter than the rest of you. More importantly, she had a close relationship with Conrad Maxwell so she has more use than all of you.”Finishing his words, Lucifer began gulping down the whiskey from the bottle.Staring at his master, Peter had a feeling that he was not speaking truthfully. Yet, he did not dare to call him out on it.“Are you done talking?” Lucifer gave him a cold side-eye.Remaining silent for a few seconds, Peter finally opened his mouth again.“Master, I just wish that you do not repeat my mistake.”“…”“No matter what your intention is, Ms. Sia is innocent. She’s like Britney, a victim through and through from the beginning. I hope that you do not treat her as another dispensable pawn.”Taking a deep breath, Peter continued, “I wish that you’d live a normal, peaceful life. You’ve lived such a lonely life all these years, Master. Seeing you living happily with Ms. Sia and her children… I feel that this is the lif
“Once this last mission is done, I will just be another normal man. I’ll be Adrian and Irene’s daddy.”As Lucifer said that, he grasped Fia’s wrist even tighter.“What are you worried about?” Fia asked, pretending not to know why.Lucifer wished he could break her wrist. “You let them discover Conrad is their real father!”Fia lowered her gaze. “We can’t hide it from them forever.”“Aren’t you worried?”“Adrian and Irene have no feelings for him. He’s less important than you. How could he be compared to me? Their own birth mother?”“Ha!” Lucifer let go of her. “Fia, you bend like a reed. You’re like a madwoman.”Fia said nothing.“Alright, stand properly and stop lying,” Lucifer said with a smile.Fia was a bit embarrassed and said in an irritated tone, “You don’t have to worry about me. You better put your focus on whether you can outplay Conrad!”She turned around and went back to her room to take a nap.Evening. Lucifer woke up from his drunkenness. He then took his car
As Conrad and Lucifer exchanged words, the atmosphere got awkward.Silas glanced at Conrad, to Lucifer, and then back again. He wasn’t sure what Lucifer was trying to say.Despite how he was being courteous toward his boss and showed that he cared…Silas felt his senses tingling.Conrad stared at Lucifer for another two seconds before asking, “Seems like you’re interested in me a lot?”“Of course I am. The young hero of the business world… How can others not be impressed?“But who knew that you almost didn’t survive after letting a car run you over because of your dead wife, and that you lost your memories as a result of that.“I wonder if I should feel pity for how you and your wife aren’t meant to be together, or if I should praise you for your persistence.”Lucifer then let out a pretentious sigh. “So many kings and heroes couldn’t escape the stings of beauties since ancient times.”Conrad’s expression became even colder. “I don’t know what you’re trying to say to me.”“Yo
When Silas finished his explanation but saw how Conrad was unmoved, he realized that this was the result he wanted.“Thank you,” Conrad said faintly. “You should leave.”“Let me stay with you.”“I’m going to sleep. You don’t need to be here.”Silas said nothing.When Conrad saw that he wasn’t leaving, he said, “Stay at the company tomorrow. Without me there, things will go out of hand if you’re absent too.”“Alright. I’ll leave in a while.” Silas was still worried. He was hoping that Conrad would tell Tiger to come back.But he said that he still hadn’t fully recovered his memories. He couldn’t remember how to log into the Training Camp’s site.But now, even he suspected that it was not that his boss hadn’t recovered his full memories… He simply didn’t want to look for Tiger.“I’m going to bed now. You’ll only disturb me if you stay here!” Conrad’s tone was cold and filled with disdain.Silas had no more excuses to stay. After arranging for the bodyguards and caretaker, he le
Since Conrad had regained his memories today, he had been thinking about what had happened in the past five years. He hadn’t thought about Sia and her children yet.But now, they were in his mind thanks to Adrian’s call.Sia’s temperament was different from Fia’s, and she had a different skin color. Even her facial features were generally different from hers.But why would he feel upset when he first saw her when he didn’t have his memories? Was it all because her voice was the same as Fia's?Then he remembered how he woke up five years ago and fell into Beryl, Felicity, and Annie’s trap. Suddenly, he was disgusted with his affection for Sia.Perhaps it was because his slight dependence on Felicity and Annie made others think that they saw his weakness.And they created a woman like her!Felicity and Annie could already deceive him despite their voices being only slightly like Fia's because of their blood relation!Then, what about a woman like Sia whose voice was the same as F
If those benefits ended up in Beryl’s hands, at least it would end up with the Maxwells in the end.But if Beryl gave it to someone else, then she would have wasted everything she did in the past five years!Beryl suddenly realized that she couldn’t stand up straight when she looked into Felicity’s inquisitive eyes.She could rightfully say that she didn’t owe her son anything.No children could hate their mothers in the end!She was his mother! That was her right!But she and Felicity had no relationship at all. However, Felicity had been treating her well in the past five years all things considered. It would be a lie to say she wasn’t touched.She had lived for so long and no one had treated her that well.“Aunt Beryl, you…” Felicity shook her head in disappointment.However, she had already seen plenty of shake-ups during her time as the CEO of Parker Group.Beryl’s eyes had already proven that Conrad was right.“I’m so sorry, Felicity. All I could do is let Conrad mar
Silas simply stared at Beryl coldly. He knew he shouldn’t hold any hope for her.“You said you remembered everything. Why don’t you kill yourself?!” Beryl said wickedly after she was done laughing.“Didn’t you say you couldn’t face her death five years ago? And said you wanted to die with her?”Conrad looked at Beryl silently, having no mood to even say a word.The bond between them was already gone. They would only grow even more resentful if they looked at each other.“Why don’t you say anything? You didn’t remember anything, did you? You’re just lying to me!”Beryl questioned him.Conrad heard footsteps and turned to look at the door.A tall figure and two small figures were standing by the door. The two children looked inside curiously.When Beryl saw the three of them, she angrily yelled, “What are you looking at? There’s nothing interesting to see when I’m talking to him!”Fia wanted to leave with her children.However, the two of them let go of her hand and ran in.“
Fia continued, “I’m leaving the fruits by the door. Please help yourself later.“We don’t want to interrupt you, so we’ll be leaving. Please continue.”She took her children’s hands and turned around, wanting to leave.But she had just taken a few steps when Beryl furiously questioned her, “Who exactly are you?!”“Well, I’m just a woman that loves freedom. I don’t see myself as anyone in particular,” she said without even turning back.Beryl kept on feeling that Sia was a strange woman and chased after her.“You better tell me why you’re suddenly approaching Conrad!”She coughed Fia’s arm.Fia simply sneered. “I didn’t approach him.”“Let go of my mommy!” Irene yelled and gave Beryl’s leg a kick.“You uneducated little child!” Beryl raised her hand, wanting to give Irene’s head a smack.“You dare?” Fia simply raised her hand and caught Beryl’s wrist, applying some pressure to stress her bone.Beryl immediately screamed out in pain.Conrad simply sat there and watched, like
